Look at My Girl Go!!

Here is Mac at her first big tournament. The file of her competing was too big, so this will have to do. She did awesome (of course)! She got her trophy for her jump front kick. I tried to upload video, but it didn't work. Still pictures will have to do.

PS - This is a double posting day. Check out the post below for an update on Oli's feet.

Damn It!

Oli showing off his post-op feet at the doctor's office. Check out his cute clothe diaper, too :)

A bit much, but that's how I feel. Oliver had his post-op follow up from his orthopaedic surgery. I rescheduled the appointment so that it was early enough that I could go before work. I thought for sure that Oli would be going home in his old braces, or fitted for new ones. But the doctor walked in and hardly even looked at his feet before casting. I personally think that he forgot Oli was post-op. So I brought up the braces right away and he said that Oli isn't ready for them yet. Maybe two or three more weeks and then he can be fitted. 

We also talked about whether or not his knees will need to be braced. They don't quite lock into place, so I've been told in the past that he will need knee bracing. Of course, I would prefer that he only needs bracing to his ankles (AFOs), but whatever gets him standing. This little man is ready to go! The doctor said that he will only cast to the knee next week, so that we can try to get him standing without the support of the casts to see what he is capable of. 

Disappointing but not the end of the world.
